Court Cases Are Public Records

Court judgments are public records. If a case is heard by a court of India, no one can argue that the opinion should not be published and viewable by all, unless the court itself expressly says it cannot be published or a law says it cannot be.

The decisions of the Supreme Court are the law of the land, and all citizens can read their decisions. 

As mentioned above, Court cases are public records and we do not need anyone's permission to publish court cases. The Section 52(1)(q)(iv) of the Copyright Act states that publication of court judgments does not constitute an infringement of Copyright
